Ramona United Methodist Church is a warm welcoming community. We seek to live out the teachings of Jesus Christ in our private and public lives. We question. We struggle. We pray. We listen. We laugh. We sing. We love. And, we invite you to share in experiencing a transforming God who can increase the joy in your life. If you have questions or just want to talk with someone about your faith, contact me at PastorSteve@ramonaumc.org.

Beginning Wednesday, Pastor Steve leads a four-week Bible study on the minor prophet Micah. You can attend at either 10 a.m. or 6:30 p.m. each Wednesday at RUMC for the next four weeks. We’ll consider Micah’s message for us today and learn how to understand the message of the other prophets as well.

You are by now probably painfully aware of the devastation caused by the 7.0 earthquake on the island nation of Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere and hundreds of thousands of people are now feared dead, many buried alive under rubble and debris. The Ramona United Methodist Church is collecting a special designated offering for the Haitian people. It is our hope that you will go above and beyond in your giving to help those who have always had so little and now have even less. Thank you for your continued support. We urge you to keep the people of Haiti and those on the front lines of the rescue efforts in your thoughts and prayers.

Missions are a vital part of the United Methodist Church. Our outreach program is rooted in the Word of God. We care about our community and people around the world.
We helped build a Habitat For Humanity house in Ramona, involving volunteers from our congregation, friends, as well as Navy and Marine personnel. Our San Diego District Superintendent leads Mission Area Summits in our San Diego District. These gatherings of churches help us expand our ministries in our congregations and communities.
We supported the Guatemala Project with the purchase of handcrafted items, funded and sent a team of electricians to Arizona to install wiring for Naomi House, a Navajo orphanage, supported a team that rebuilt homes in Biloxi, Mississippi, and partner with Heifer International to help families around the world.
